Text: 1 Kings 12:24-13:10 (King James Version)

"Father, I am your servant, willing and desiring
to be
used to
bless your
people."

The Fields are white and the laborers are few!C.H. Spurgeon said, "If
God does not save a man by truth he certainly will not save them by lies, and if
the old gospel is not competent to work a revival, then we will do without the
revival;"

Don't allow your life to be poured into the world's
mold. Our goal is not to be a weird-o, just not to be like the world..and the
closer we move to the end of the world, the more a true, separated believer will
be thought of as radically different. That's why the media refers to us as the
radical right wing..they don't mean it as a compliment..but we should take it
that way! You cannot be a living sacrifice, and be lazy and indifferent toward
the ministry of the church. Talk is
cheap. It's impossible to be surrendered to God, and not be busy serving
Him.

1 Kings 12:24Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not
go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man
to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of
the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the
LORD.

1 Kings 12:25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in
mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built
Penuel.

1 Kings 12:26And Jeroboam said in his heart,
Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

1 Kings 12:27If this people go up to do
sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this
people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they
shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

1 Kings 12:28Whereupon the king took counsel,
and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up
to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land
of Egypt.

1 Kings 12:29And he set the one in Bethel, and
the other put he in Dan.

1 Kings 12:30And this thing became a sin: for
the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

1 Kings 12:31And he made an house of high
places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons
of Levi.

1 Kings 12:32And Jeroboam ordained a feast in
the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is
in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto
the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high
places which he had made.

1 Kings 12:33So he offered upon the altar which
he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month
which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of
Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

1 Kings 13:1And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD
unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn
incense.

1 Kings 13:2And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O
altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house
of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high
places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon
thee.

1 Kings 13:3And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD
hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it
shall be poured out.

1 Kings 13:4And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of
God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand
from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth
against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to
him.

1 Kings 13:5The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar,
according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the
LORD.

1 Kings
13:6And the king answered
and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray
for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the
LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

1 Kings 13:7And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh
thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

1 Kings 13:8And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I
will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this
place:

1 Kings 13:9For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread,
nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou
camest.

1 Kings 13:10So he went another way, and
returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

Let's pray. Father,Open my eyes so I can see Your truth.

Open my ears so I can hear Your voice.Open my mind
so I can understand Your Word.And open my heart so I may receive all that
You want me to receive. AMEN

We can see several emphases on the altar:1. Jeroboam stood by the
altar to burn incense: Sacrifice is offered at the alter to Satan or God
depending on who is offering and what and how is being offered.2. The man of
God cried against the altar: It is possible to speak against satanic altars in
the name of the Lord. I pray that the word of God will pull down all satanic
altars raised against you in Jesus name.3. The king stretches forth his hand
from the altar against the man of God: Evil can be programmed against the people
of God from satanic altars.4. The altar was rent and the ashes poured out
from the altar: Satanic altar can be completely destroyed through a prophetic
utterance in the name of the Lord. I
prophesy against all satanic altars raised against the purpose of God in your
life in Jesus name.

A man once said, "I drink vodka, so you can't smell it
on my breath." His friend said, "maybe you should switch to something they CAN
smell.. ..it's better for them to know you're drunk, than think you're stupid."
Alcohol is the devil's substitute for a spirit-filled life. Alcohol kills over
200,000 Americans every year. A generation is 40 years, right? That means
alcohol kills 8 million out of every generation. We talk about Hitler and the
holocaust, which killed 6 million. We talk about the atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima, killing 80,000..Nagasaki, and 35,000 died. And yet nearly twice that
die every year from alcohol..how's that for dropping a bomb on you! it's more
dangerous than the atomic bomb and the holocaust, and it's legal, advertised,
and even promoted! What's wrong with this picture?

Why do people drink and vomit? Their stomach has more
sense than their head!In the 9 years of the Vietnam War, 57,000 Americans
died fighting for our country. Millions protested that atrocity in the streets,
completely blind to the 2 million dying at the hands of alcohol during the same
period of time. Where are the protesters to the World War we call alcohol?
Where's Jane Fonda when we really need her?! Their body rejects the poison.
That's why we call it being "intoxicated." It's a toxin!

God has entrusted us to be a separated people and we
have squandered the God of entrustment as Annanias and Sapphiras

Acts 5:1But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a
possession,

Acts 5:2And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and
brought a certain part, and laid it, at the apostles' feet.

Acts 5:3But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the
Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Acts 5:4Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it
not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou
hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Acts 5:5And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and
great fear came on all them that heard these things.

Acts 5:6And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried
him.

Acts 5:7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not
knowing what was done, came in.

Acts 5:8And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so
much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

Acts 5:9Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt
the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband
are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

Acts 5:10Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and
the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her
by her husband.

Acts 5:11And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these
things.

John 17:7Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of
thee.

John 17:8For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have
received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have
believed that thou didst send me.

John 17:9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast
given me; for they are thine.

John 17:10And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in
them.

John 17:11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come
to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me,
that they may be one, as we are.

John 17:12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that
thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition;
that the scripture might be fulfilled.

John 17:13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they
might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

The
Message from God is the Same it is time for Christianity to make the
Choice!

Joshua 24:9Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against
Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse
you:

Joshua 24:10But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I
delivered you out of his hand.

Joshua 24:11And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho
fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and
the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I
delivered them into your hand.

Joshua 24:12And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you,
even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy
bow.

Joshua 24:13And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which
ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye
planted not do ye eat.

Joshua 24:14Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and
put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and
in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

Joshua 24:15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom
ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other
side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as
for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

2 Corinthians 6:14Be ye not unequally yoked together
with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness?

2 Corinthians 6:15And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an
infidel?

2 Corinthians 6:16And what agreement hath the temple
of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I
will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be
my people.

2 Corinthians 6:17Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I
will receive you,

2 Corinthians 6:18And will be a Father unto you, and
ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord
Almighty.

2 Corinthians 7:1Having therefore these promises,
dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and
spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

John 14:12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I
do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto
my Father.

John 14:13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.

John 14:14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

John 14:15If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that
he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth
him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and
shall be in you.

John 14:18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

John 14:19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also.

John 14:20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in
you.

Mark 16:15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.

Mark 16:16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth
not shall be damned.

Mark 16:17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they
cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Mark 16:18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.

Mark 16:19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into
heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Mark 16:20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with
them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Luke 24:46And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to
suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

Luke 24:47And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name
among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Luke 24:48And ye are witnesses of these things.

Luke 24:49And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in
the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on
high.

Luke 24:50And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and
blessed them.

Acts 2:1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place.

Acts 2:2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Acts 2:3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat
upon each of them.

Acts 2:4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 4:31And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled
together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word
of God with boldness.
